Rating: Summary: The closest expression to "the meaning of life". Beautiful! Review: My daughter turned me on to this movie last week. Even though, this is will prove to be one of the all-time Kleenex sellers, it is uplifting and has a "feel good" aura about it. Mindy Moore and Shane West were superb. But the beautiful message of this film is that It is better to have loved than never to have loved at all. It proves that Love is the most powerful emotion of them all and goes on forever in those we touch and can change lives on a spiritual basis. The emotional depth of this movie is deep and fulfilling. I'm a 57-year old guy, not easily impressed anymore. But this movie more than any other captured the feeling of being young, and in love , including Love Story in 1970. A beautiful story, beautifully done, and the closest expression I've ever seen to "the meaning of life". Outstanding for all ages!
Rating: Summary: Boring! Review: This was obviously a movie for the "Dawson's Creek" crowd of teenagers. Mature viewers would have a hard time getting through the entire film without falling soundly asleep.Felt like I was watching a music video, with the constant soundtrack. Mandy Moore is a great actress, but this movie was not the best vehicle for her talents.
Rating: Summary: Definitely Worth Watching. . . if: Review: This is a movie I would definitely recommend watching, but only if you: 1) Enjoy romantic movies (otherwise this is gonna be incredibly long and boring) 2) Don't mind overdone plots (I'm not insulting it at all, the plot may be typical, but that's cuz it works. However, if you're looking for something fresh, this won't be it.) 3)You don't mind a movie that will make you cry This is an awesome chickflick-style movie. Great for watching with a group of friends.
Rating: Summary: A film with one amazing actress and one very hot actor Review: First of all... A Walk to Remember is an amazing movie! The plot of the actual movie was so good and the story behind it made this movie incredible. I rated this movie 4 stars because once i started crying i couldn't stop.A lot of the people in the theatre actually started to stare. The way Shane West treats Mandy Moore is so delicate and you can see that he actually cares. To me, that actually means something. The entire second half of the movie i cried so hard! I couldn't stop and when i came home from the theatres I went to the website and printed off pictures from the movie. While i was viewing the pictures i started to cry again. This movie is so overwhelming and breathtaking. If you are wanting to see a dramatic movie, A Walk to Remember is the one for you. I guarentee it, you will want to watch it over and over again. My boyfriend even said he would have cried if my one friends hadn't started crackin jokes. And if a guy who thinks he is tough enough to stand through any movie actually almost cried, you know its got to be good.
Rating: Summary: beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Review: You'll either love it for its sweetness and sincerity or dislike it for its sappiness. I personally love it. It's such a sweet story, not to mention an important one about true love. Shane West and Mandy Moore were great together. This is such an important movie. It's the kind of film that everyone can get at least SOMETHING out of. Don't pass up the chance to see this. Mandy Moore has some exceptional acting skills, and I can't wait to see more from her in the future. Shane West is awesome too.... at first, you hate his character, but then you love him. If you don't cry during this movie at any time, then you should definitely at least have the chills. Every time I see the ending scene with Jamie and Landon, the tears come. It's just so beautiful. What's not to like? It's just a very honest and moving film. I can't recommend it enough. If I could recommend only one movie in my life, this might be the one. Something about it just makes you want to do something more with your life. Rent it. Buy it. Do whatever you can to at least see this movie.
Rating: Summary: A WALK YOU WILL REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET Review: DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THIS MOVIE. WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE SEEN IN AWHILE. MOST PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE SEEN IT ARE SURPRISED AT HOW GOOD IT IS.IT FOLLOWS THE BITTERSWEET(MOSTLY SWEET) LOVESTORY OF BADBOY LANDON AN GOODGIRL JAMIE. MANDY MOORE STEPS AWAY FROM HER IMAGE AS A POPSTAR PRINCESS TO PLAY JAMIE,A A CONSERVITIVE PREACHER'S DAUGHTER WHO UNEXPECTANTLY FINDS LOVE WITH LANDON, A COCKY BIG MAN ON CAMPUS,PLAYED BRILLIANTLY BY SHANE WEST WHO GIVES A STARMAKING PERFORMANCE. THIS WAS A MOVIE THAT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN A ..., SAPPY TEARJERKER BUT BECAUSE OF THE PERFORMANCES AND THE WONDERFUL STORY,WHICH IS SUBTLE AND DOESN'T HIT YOU OVER THE HEAD IT BECOMES A SWEET MOVIE ABOUT NOT ONLY LOVE BUT REDEMPTION AND FAITH. NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM MANDY MOORE BECAUSE SHE IS GREAT BUT SHANE WEST CARRIES THIS MOVIE. IT IS TOLD MOSTLY FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW.IT IS THROUGH THE EYES OF HIS CHARACTER THAT WE SEE ALL THE EVENTS UNFOLD. THERE ARE A LOT OF HANDSOME YOUNG ACTORS OUT THERE THAT COULD HAVE PLAYED THIS ROLE BUT I CAN'T THINK OF ONE WHO COULD HAVE PULLED OFF WHAT SHANE DOES--THAT IS TAKE A CHARACTER WHO STARTS OFF AS A CONCEITED JERK AND TURN HIM INTO SOULFUL, THOUGHTFUL GOODGUY WHO NOT ONLY WINS JAMIE'S HEART BUT THE HEART OF THE AUDIENCE. HE DOES ALL THAT AND MAKES IT BELIEVABLE. EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE YET OR READ THE BOOK I AM SURE YOU HAVE HEARD THAT ITS SAD OR THAT IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY AND IT WILL BUT FOR ME THIS IS A MOVIE WORTH SEEING OVER AND OVER AGAIN EVEN IF IT MEANS CRYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN SO PLEASE GET IT!
Rating: Summary: Refreshing, different, haunting and so simply beautiful Review: I haven't been genuinely touched by a film in years. I am haunted by this one. Mandy Moore's character Jamie is unadorned and unforgettable. Her inner beauty shines through on the strength of the character's incorruptible virtue and genuine sweetness. It's a refreshing reminder of the largely forsaken power a woman has to set the tone in a relationship on a higher plane if she really wants a knight in shining armor, which Shane West's character Landon ultimately proves to be. I wish there were more movies like this one, and more people in the world like Jamie Sullivan. I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to see an endearing story of genuine love, pure and simple.
Rating: Summary: great Review: i absolutely loved this movie but hey i like womans movies. this was a excellent love story. the last half had me bawling my eyes out because i'm like that. i dont know why since i'm actually a 17 year old guy. well this reminded me of my only relationship. rent or better buy it today. you gotta see it people. it will change your life. Landon Shane West is the bad rebelious boy until he falls in love with the local ministers daughter Jaime Mandy Moore. she warns him not to fall in love with her since she is sick with lukemia but guess what they fall in love and the rest you will have to find out yourself. oh rent this it is much better than Crossroads.
Rating: Summary: THIS WAS SO SAD BUT SO GOOD! Review: I loved this movie it made me cry. It is all about friendship and not worrying about what other people think. Mandy Moore does a good I mean a great job acting out Jamie. It was so sad. It made me cry about 10 times. It shows how people stick together and help eacher. You have to see this movie.
Rating: Summary: Definitely a movie to 'Remember'--very touching Review: Oh my god, this movie was so moving. I admit it, I am a teen so I have seen my share of the usual boy-meets-girl-and-falls-in-love-and-wants-to-have-sex movies... but this was different. The most Jamie and Landon did was kiss and hardly touch first base. Landon Carter (Shane West) is your average popular bad boy who enjoys his life, has tons of friends and picks on all the new and not so popular people. But one prank completely changes his life and gets him into doing service appointed by his principal that hopes to change him and give him a different perspective on life. And that's how he meets Jamie (Mandy Moore). At the drama club where they play the starring roles of the school's Spring play. Jamie doesn't care what people think, obeys the rules, reads the bible, and goes to church every Sunday. But most of all, she is kind. Landon is changed by her and their love story is a realization that young love without sex is possible despite the overlook of today's relationships. I found myself shedding tears by the end of the movie. Although there are not many bonus features included in this DVD, the story itself is enough for a complete satisfaction by the viewer. Mandy Moore's music video 'Cry' depicts the afterlife and includes Shane West. All in all, 'A Walk to Remember' was definetly 'A Movie to Remember'.
